Remain ignorant...it's your choice. The autopsy revealed that Martin's heart continued to pump after being shot.
The full autopsy report is on this site. I read the entire report and cannot find anything about the heart continuing to pump. Blood in the chest can result for passive bleeding without a heart beat until the blood begins to coagulate.
I would think it would but from what the witnesses said he seemed very calm. He didn't look distraught at the police station either.
The shock of what took place could easily explain that, reguardless of the circumstances or whether he was justified in shooting Trayvon or not he would likely have still been in shock. I openly admit that there is a chance that Zimmerman is lying, I just don't think that is the case at this point.
I'm very familiar with internal bleeding, especially with heart punctures. The immediate impact on such a wound is quite extraordinary, and takes a fraction of a minute to occur. However, when punching someone and covering their bloody nose, it's extremely difficult, if not impossible, to NOT get their blood and DNA on your person.
The coroner's report was very telling.
Sounds a little off-topic, but tonight I made spaghetti and tomato sauce for dinner. Just the tiny drops that splattered got on my tee shirt (which is why I wear an old, worn one when I make spaghetti sauce!)
I'm honestly not trying to be silly here, but I was also sneezing a lot earlier and grabbed a Kleenex out of the box. I had to wash my hands because .. well, you know. Anyway, I'm only talking about a runny nose, not one that was gushing blood. So I agree that it's strange that no DNA evidence from Zimmerman was on Martin's hands.
How do YOU know how "badly" it was broken......or if it was even broken at all?
Are you a doctor? A doctor who's so great at what he does that he can make a broken nose diagnosis without an examination and/or x-ray?
Hey! Everyone! Save your money on x-rays - just send a picture of whatever body part you suspect may be broken to tickyul and he will diagnose you just by the picture you send.
*lol*
You can use your BRAIN and look at his nose.....that big lump and funny angle are not normal!
Link to what? Can you read? All I said was if I were in his shoes I'd have a lot more on my mind than seeing a Dr about a broken nose.
Yeah, because Superhero Zimmerman is impervious to pain.
GZ was fairly sure that he was home free and would be putting this behind him is short shrift...until the parents of a dead teen had the audacity to demand a thorough investigation.
No fan of TM. I have said it many times. He was a wannabe like GZ. wanna be meets wanna be. 1 had a gun.
What I find offensive is people justifying harassing a man for walking down the street, then making excuses for the behavior which led to a shooting. A shooting that need never have happened. 1 person was trained, 1 person ignored the training. 1 person was told not to pursue. 1 person ignored it and continued to push it.
That person also has a history of anger issues. He was a wannabe cop.
TM had no training and who knows what he was thinking. If I were him I would have been po'ed by GZ.
I believe TM punched GZ in the face. The rest of it is up for debate.
There is no evidence of a prolonged battle. No blood on TM to speak of. No bruised knuckles. No blood on the skin or under the nails. 25 + blows to the head and face one would expect some blood.
Gz has been caught lying and more than once.
Sorry I don't believe a whole lot of what GZ says.
He was 5'11 and 158 pounds. I am 5' 10 and 170 pounds. My body fat aint bad for 50. Right around 12%
TM was thin by military standards and most peoples standards.
A former footballer? LOL so what.
He could have called 911, he could have ran.
GZ could have followed his training. He could have done what he was told. You speak of logic.
It is logical that the one trained would have acted like it and followed the training.
The kid was foolish. he was the kid. Many kids are foolish.
GZ was trained and was an idiot that pushed way beyond reasonable behavior.
My biggest bone with GZ is he is the kind of guy that makes all gun owners look bad. Hot head with a gun.
After they get their sheets back from the cleaners.
Wow, it must really hurt.

He had just shot and killed someone near his home, you don't think that might mess with a person?
